Government (Gov't) Announces Dedication of Decentralized Passport Centers in Bong and Grand Gedeh Counties
This landmark achievement is made possible under the visionary leadership and instrumentality of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Sara Beysolow Nyanti, whose commitment to enhancing public service delivery and expanding government reach remains unwavering. The decentralization initiative is a major step toward making passport services more accessible to citizens across the country, especially in remote regions.
Previously, passport services were centralized in Monrovia, presenting logistical and financial burdens for applicants from the leeward counties. With the establishment of centers in Bong and Grand Gedeh, residents will now be able to process their passport applications closer to home, saving time and cost while increasing efficiency in service delivery.
'These centers are not just buildings they are symbols of inclusion, equity, and the government's promise to bring services to the people,' said Foreign Minister Nyanti. 'This is a proud moment for our Ministry and a significant milestone in our decentralization agenda.'
The dedication ceremonies are expected to draw local government officials, traditional leaders, and members of the public. The Ministry also assures citizens of the centers' full operational readiness, equipped with the necessary technology and trained personnel to deliver world-class passport services.
As Liberia marks another year of sovereignty and nationhood, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirms its commitment to citizen-centered governance and service decentralization.

Public Service Committee Bids Farewell to Outgoing National School of Government Principal
The Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration notes the departure of the Principal of the National School of Government (NSG), Professor Busani Ngcaweni, and commends him for his visionary leadership. Since his appointment in 2020, the NSG has made significant strides in re-establishing itself as a critical institution in the renewal and professionalisation of the public service. Prof Ngcaweni led the development of critical and relevant training programmes, particularly programmes focusing on digital innovation and ethical leadership, at a time when public trust in government has been eroded. Under his leadership, the NSG expanded its reach through learning partnerships across the continent. He also oversaw the development of programmes to cultivate competent, developmental leadership and strengthening public sector accountability. Prof Ngcaweni's contribution to excellence and the professionalisation of the public service is undeniable. Chairperson of the committee, Mr Jan de Villiers, said the committee wishes to express its sincere appreciation for Prof Ngcaweni's leadership, dedication and the institutional momentum he leaves behind at the NSG. 'We wish him success in the next chapter of his life and look forward to continued engagements in pursuit of a professional, ethical and capable public service. We trust that the foundations he helped to lay will continue to yield dividends for the public service,' said Mr de Villiers.
